Abstract

An electronic device, a system, and a method for determining a suitable workout in consideration of a context are provided. The electronic device includes a communication module comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with at least one other electronic device; a display configured to provide a user interface; a memory configured to store instructions therein; and a processor electrically connected to the communication module, the display, and the instructions stored in the memory, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a command for executing a workout program, to collect context data for a user, and to determine whether it is suitable for the user to perform planned workout content based on the collected context data.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a communication module comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with at least one other electronic device;

a display configured to provide a user interface;

a memory configured to store instructions therein; and

a processor electrically connected to the communication module, the display, and the memory,

wherein the instructions stored in the memory, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive a command for executing a workout program, to collect context data for a user, and to determine whether it is suitable for the user to perform planned workout content based on the collected context data.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to search for the workout content that is suitable to be performed by the user based on at least one of:

the collected context data, an attribute of the workout content, and user setup if it is determined that it is unsuitable to perform the planned workout content.

3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the instructions further include instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to control the display to display the user interface for recommending the suitable workout content based on the result of the search.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to control the communication module to request bio-data from at least one wearable device and to request surrounding environment data of the user from at least one server, and

to control the communication module to receive the requested bio-data from the at least one wearable device and to receive the requested surrounding environment data of the user from the at least one server.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the context data comprises at least one of:

user-based context data, environment-based context data, and reference-based context data.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the user-based context data comprises at least one of:

bio-data and personal record data.

7. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the environment-based context data comprises at least one of:

a user surrounding weather, humidity, fine dust concentration, an atmospheric temperature, a wind direction, a wind speed, an altitude, ultraviolet rays, a rainfall probability, a rainfall amount, and a wave height.

8. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the reference-based context data comprises at least one of:

a cough possibility index, an asthma-pulmonary disease possibility index, a stroke possibility index, and a skin disease possibility index.

9. A wearable device comprising:

a communication module comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with at least one other electronic device;

a display configured to provide a user interface;

a sensor module comprising at least one sensor configured to measure a bio-signal;

a memory configured to store instructions therein; and

a processor electrically connected to the communication module, the display, the sensor module, and the memory,

wherein the instructions stored in the memory, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a command for executing a workout program, to collect context data for a user, to control the sensor module to measure a bio-signal of the user, and to determine whether it is suitable for the user to perform planned workout content based on the collected context data and the measured bio-signal.

10. The wearable device of claim 9, wherein the instructions further include instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to search for the workout content that is suitable to be performed by the user based on at least one of the collected context data, an attribute of the workout content, and user setup if it is determined that it is unsuitable to perform the planned workout content.

11. The wearable device of claim 10, wherein the instructions further include instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to control the display to display the user interface for recommending the suitable workout content based on the result of the search.

12. The wearable device of claim 9, wherein the instructions further include instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to control the communication module to request surrounding environment data of the user from at least one server and to receive the requested the surrounding environment data of the user from the at least one server.

13. A method for determining a suitable workout in consideration of a context, comprising:

receiving a command for executing a workout program;

collecting context data for a user; and

determining whether it is suitable for the user to perform planned workout content based on the collected context data.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising searching for the workout content that is suitable to be performed by the user based on at least one of:

the collected context data, an attribute of the workout content, and user setup if it is determined that it is unsuitable to perform the planned workout content.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising displaying a user interface for recommending the suitable workout content based on the result of the search.

16. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

requesting bio-data from at least one wearable device and requesting surrounding environment data of the user from at least one server, and

receiving the requested bio-data from the at least one wearable device and receiving the requested surrounding environment data of the user from the at least one server.
